I've truncated the tests since nothing there showed any problem
whatsoever. I'm running out of ideas, so this one may be off the wall:
($ to indicate command lines but don;t type the $ :-))
$ egrep prefix /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner
I've found a mailman installation I can compare this next one against.
$ egrep prefix /usr/local/mailman/bin/paths.py
If this doesn't look like below, then we have found the problem, if not
the cause. If anything contains the <> you have the problem and can
ignore the next item. (Yours should have /usr/local for /var but it's a
cruddy Linux machine which happens to have mailman).
# importing this module, sys.path gets `hacked' so that the $prefix/Mailman
prefix = '/var/mailman'
exec_prefix = '${prefix}'
if exec_prefix == '${prefix}':
exec_prefix = prefix
# Hack the path to include the parent directory of the $prefix/Mailman
package
sys.path.insert(0, prefix)
sys.path.insert(0, os.path.join(prefix, 'pythonlib'))
sitedir = os.path.join(sys.prefix, 'lib', 'python'+sys.version[:3],
And one which may spew quite a lot. Cut it off if it gets to printing help.
$ python -v /usr/local/mailman/bin/qrunner
